In network connectivity, the RJ45 form factor has been widely adopted by many in the industry. This form factor allows for easy and effective mating of two communications cables or communications cables and communications equipment via a corresponding pair of an RJ45 plug and an RJ45 jack. While being effective at providing physical connectivity, signal problems can arise when RJ45 connectors are placed in close proximity to each other as a result of alien crosstalk. Alien crosstalk is an interference caused by conductors of one connector inducing electromagnetic noise into the conductors of another, adjacent connector.
